Cod - are you sure you're not just commenting on your own previous AIM misfortunes? Thats what it sounds like to me. I've made lots of money on AIM buying and holding for the medium term. Of course stop losses and proper risk reward assessment and looking at the larger market is key, but thats scarcely rocket science. As long as the overall market holds up I still think there are quite a number of attarctive growth and value stories out there and especially on AIM. PDX is one of them IMHO. Not one to risk the house on by any means, but the reward on potential newsflow is definitely there.
